WWII code-breaker home Bletchley Park gets vital repairs

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Campaigners hoping to restore dilapidated Bletchley Park, where Second World War code-breakers deciphered the German 
Enigma machine,
have received a major boost with a £330,000 English Heritage grant to repair the roof.

Seeping rainwater has threatened the structure of the Grade II listed Victorian Gothic building near Milton Keynes, 
described as being as important as the Cabinet War Rooms.

The Bletchley Park Trust spent £100,000 starting repairs on the Victorian roof this summer but ran out of money.

Simon Greenish, director of the trust, said the work was the "first really big step" in saving the building and turning 
it into a "world class" £10 million education and heritage centre."
